The Aardvark Blogger is always busy!

Lots going on with events and visitors to the bookshop. Not to mention plans for next year, markets and fairs, author events, live music and much more. Keep looking in to find out about everything that is happening in the bookshop in the middle of nowhere.

Flea Market Heaven25th October 2014

Tomorrow is our autumn fleamarket and the warehouse is now full of people setting up their stalls today, to avoid tomorrow morning's rush. There have been dealers on the phone to find out what time we will let them in, customers turning up 24 hours early and all together a lot of activity.

More Upbeat Frankfurt; planning for Brocante16th October 2014

Back from the bookfair on Monday and straight back into the office on Tuesday. I confess that by today the weekend is catching up with me - airports are always energy sapping - and I am looking forward to a day off before working through the weekend.

Today brought another good antiquarian sale - the two volumes of the Sullivan tour, that had once graced the library of William Beckford. Although Antiquarian sales are a small part of Aardvark Books activity, I always like handling old books and it makes a change from our usual fare.
